DRINKING BY THE MAUSOLEUM DOOR ☨ PERSONALITY

+ helpful / dedicated / kind-hearted
~ thoughtful / studious / headstrong
─ gossip / histrionic / unpredictable
☨ ── testimony is largely dramatic and bears a penchant for attention. while they largely keep a cool head, it isn't unlike them to conflate a small note of a conversation, before drifting off to the next thing. this appears to be a front of some sort, and not their actual thought process. histrionics aside, they are genuinely kind and offer a certain compassion to others, especially vampires. it can be difficult to deduce what they are actually thinking at any given time, but will often speak their mind when given the space (or when not).
